Palantir CEO Alex Karp has warned that Western citizens “will have far fewer rights if America is not in the lead” of the AI race. Speaking to Axios, the tech boss suggested that should China pull away from America in developing artificial intelligence, “the primary risk is losing privacy.”
Karp argued that “the chance of world survival goes up as America becomes stronger and more dominant” in the AI race, acknowledging that advanced software poses real dangers to humanity. One of these is the possibility of “social instability”, which he explained could manifest into “pretty crazy populist movements”. He went on to state that Europe was “abysmal” when it came to developing AI and that the continent “has given up on technology”, claiming the Gulf states are making better progress.
The Palantir CEO has previously claimed the possibilities for AI are “dangerous”, and earlier this year he co-authored a book, The Technological Republic, suggesting that the threat posed to Western security by China, Russia and Iran would be enhanced by the technology.
Karp has a long history of political intervention. In the past, he has described himself as a socialist and a progressive but distanced himself from the label of “woke”. On Monday, he made headlines when he sent a letter to Palantir shareholders outlining the dangers of “proclaiming the equality of all cultures and cultural values” and claiming that it was the “first company to be completely anti-woke”. Having once been highly critical of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, he has softened his stance on the man he now describes as a “peace president”. Karp added last month that he’s “really supportive” of Trump’s border and national security policies.

Slimebucket Supreme.
AI is your friend.
I have fact-checked this and gotten confirmation from hundreds of AI sources around the world.
Lol.
curious what the finish line entails
Think about it easy it will be for governments and private businesses to track and monitor you when we finally “win” the Ai race !
spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.
So true.
What will happen to our rights even if the USA wins?
I don’t trust self-proclaimed recent converts.
Ellison is creepy and evil. President Trump had better distance himself from this guy.
Like we’re not going to have fewer rights anyhow. Look at how Congress protects our rights now? They don’t.
“Alex Karp: we will have fewer rights if America loses AI race”
America will lose the AI race and big!
AI will win the AI race, then our rights might not be in alignment with the AI’s goals.
An EMP or a bucket of water would take out AI instantly.
Don’t worry, Commander Data will save us.
Lose what race? What’s the goal? How is success measured? Stupid clickbait “we need a big grant” nonsense.
Why not, just this time allow china to spend the bilions in R&D development then we swoop in and steal their software...
Bonus: AI will monitor every word you speak or write in the “real” world or online.
Then if you have any beliefs the politicians don’t like they can debank you or keep you from getting hired or get you fired or run a slander operation against you or put on a no fly list...
Extra bonus: By the time they are done with you there will be thousands of posts here on FR calling you all sorts of nasty names. Identical posts will appear on all leftist discussion sites as well.
Triple bonus: Your home address and a picture of your home will be broadcast all over the Internet so your new enemies know where to find you.
(If you have heard of anybody where this happened to them then you are already an enemy of the state. You better keep your mouth shut.)
